5 Great Ways to Eat Fresh Berries

It's berry season. The bushes along the edge of our property our loaded with red and black berries. We are enjoying living off the land.

We didn't have a lot of luck with the strawberry plants we planted this year. We got one or two berries, but not enough to amount to anything. Fortunately we have a reliable source to "Pick Your Own".

It occurred to me that there are so many great ways to eat fresh berries, that I can't seem to focus on just one.  So, here you go:

5 Great Ways to Eat Fresh Berries

1. Blackberry Pizzelles

Ridiculously easy, incredibly delicious.

Pick your berries....

Find your chocolate dip or spread....

Buy a box of Anise flavored Pizzelle cookies (mine came from Aldi's)...

Layer cookie, chocolate, cool whip and berries. 

Add the top cookie and pop into the freezer for 30 minutes until firm.

Or you can be impatient like me and just eat it like it is. Messy, but delightful.

2. Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch

I originally made the crunch with just strawberries... but you can see I am no longer satisfied with just one berry in this dish. More is better, right?

3. Berry Buttermilk Pancakes
